I've mostly been using Lemmy since the exodus, but checked back once in a while because Relay was still working. It seems Relay finally stopped working properly, so I'm done with Reddit now. 100 percent Lemmy/Tildes for me.

Edit: to add Tildes. I like it over there too.

I didn’t stop using Reddit but I use it much less now, and I seldom post anymore. I’ve noticed a significant drop in quality; lots of good posters and mods left.

[–] Markimus@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I still use it occasionally for some things, though I’ve noticed a steep quality drop on Reddit. I spend much more time on Lemmy.

Lemmy > Discovery, Reddit > Specific Subs that haven’t yet migrated.

I dropped it, and this is a good thing. I started to become addicted to my phone.

I almost left reddit years ago after one of their constant BS things but the API one was the last straw. They lost 4 relatively active accounts when I left. It has been great watching the communities on the fediverse grow.

I'm only now switched over because infinity for reddit free finally died

I dropped it for the Fediverse. I decided to use kbin after trying Lemmy for a bit.

I still read Reddit sometimes, but I don't have an account anymore. It's like reading Facebook posts now. Really, really low quality content. It's sad, but I like the community here. Lemmy is more like what Reddit was 15ish years ago.

[–] rosymind@leminal.space 5 points 2 years ago

Maybe make a poll?

[–] generic@iusearchlinux.fyi 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I kept Infinity installed until it finally stopped working. In the last few weeks, there was basically nothing good on Reddit anyway so I'm ok with dropping it.

I'm hoping more people come to Lemmy and we get lots of content here!

Without RiF, there is no Reddit for me.

[–] Wayren@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Dropped it and haven't looked back.

[–] Rolder@reddthat.com 5 points 2 years ago

I use a mix myself. I browse lemmy on mobile with Voyager, and Reddit on PC. Now if lemmy had active communities for my personal interests I’d be more interested, but it’s mostly generic news and such right now

[–] NoKnowledge7965@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Left after I found lemmy

[–] SamboT@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago

When im desperate for information and all I'm getting are ai generated article results, I will still resort to appending to reddit to my Google searches but otherwise I've deleted everything on reddit and keep up with major current events and bad memes here on lemmy. It really could be a better experience but it's better than... well... endorsing reddits decisions.

[–] Default_Defect@midwest.social 5 points 2 years ago

Deleted my reddit account a while ago. Don't really use lemmy as much as I used to use reddit, but I see that as a good thing. the quality of the use I get is a lot better here too.

[–] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

I was on RIF for years, deleted everything and haven't gone back. It's kinda liberating, I don't spend nearly as much time here as I did Reddit, and it scratches the itch.

[–] tehmics@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

For general memes and doom scrolling I'm 100% on Lemmy. Content is somewhat sparse but that just helps me limit scrolling time. I purged my post history so my profile is blank.

I still sometimes use Reddit from Google searches to look up specific things or specific communities. When I make the mistake of clicking the home feed the default experience is so bad that I pretty much immediately close it.

Full adoption is still lacking due to the breadth of niche communities and information that is tied up on Reddit. Is there any reddit archival efforts to preserve the information?

[–] cubedsteaks@lemmy.today 5 points 2 years ago

I thought this was going to be more of polling post.

Anyway I did. I deleted my account and haven't gone back for anything since then. It's rough too cause now there's no connection to the local groups here.

I joined a local instance hoping there would be local people posting but I guess that's not how lemmy works.

[–] Elonkilledmydad@lemmy.ml 5 points 2 years ago

+1 left when RIF stopped working

[–] TORFdot0@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

At least one, because I did. Totally uninstalled the app and only use the website for obscure google queries where Reddit is the only meaningful result

[–] Migillope@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I don't passively use it anymore, but I'll use it as a reference for past posts.

"How to determine undertone lemmy" doesn't really work like "... reddit"

[–] Squirrel_Patrol@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

I did after almost 12yrs. Haven't looked back

[–] DoucheBagMcSwag@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I did. signed out of all Reddit accounts once on my PC and uninstalled Apollo when it was on life support once Spez started outwardly idolizing Elon Musk. Fuck that shit I’m out

Now I only use Reddit wherever I need tech support and google has something for me that I need. I also installed Reddit to redirect extension to the wayback machine it I go there

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev 4 points 2 years ago

Not that meant of us obviously.

Enough that it has really helped Lemmy. Too few to materially impact Reddit.
